Publisher's summary

Sizzling chemistry and tender friendship develops between two childhood rivals in this hilarious rom-com from the author of As Seen on TV.

New Yorker Molly Blum knows everything about her lifelong nemesis, Jude Stark. With their families so close, they should have been best friends. Instead, she thinks he’s a too-charming slacker, and he thinks she’s allergic to fun. After years of one-upping each other’s pranks (chocolate-dipped cat treats are not as delicious as they appear), one high school joke went too far, and they stopped speaking completely. But now that they’re supposed to help plan a massive party for their parents—together—there’s no better time to resume their war.

And it is on. Only somewhere between all the sniping and harmless hijinks, a reluctant friendship develops, along with an unexpected spark of sexual tension. It might have to do with the fact that she’s been dating Jude-lookalikes and he’s been dating Molly doppelgangers. Or the fact that neither of them is nearly as horrible as they thought. All Molly and Jude know is that they’ve mastered the art of hating each other. Falling in love, on the other hand, is a whole new battlefield.

Critic reviews

“With delightful banter and unexpected twists, swoony romantic antics and outrageous family drama, Meredith Schorr confirms her place on my bookshelves as an auto-buy author. Someone Just Like You is an enchanting tale about the power of forgiveness in forging our happy endings. I read it in one sitting.”—Jean Meltzer, International Bestselling Author of The Matzah Ball

."Someone Just Like You has it all - lovable characters, to-die-for tension, and a thoughtful dive into the inner workings of family. It is a rom-com in its highest form, full of humor and heart."—Annabel Monaghan, author of Same Time Next Summer

"Meredith Schorr's SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU has all of the wit, plot, clever banter, and a swoon-worthy ending of a Nora Ephron romcom—I couldn't put it down! This enemies-to-lovers slow burn about two childhood rivals had me laughing and then happy crying—someone please make this a movie!"—Erin La Rosa, author of For Butter or Worse and Plot Twist

So cute, good narration!

I love stories like this: childhood “enemies” that realize they’ve been looking for each other in all their precious relationships. The family dynamics + work/professional side-story + butterfly-inducing romance made this romcom right up my ally.

childhood frenemies to lovers

This is a very sweet childhood frenemies to lovers. We all make mistakes in life and very few of us get to make peace to help find your HEA. Molly and Jude find know their best and their worst, when they finally accept their love from each other it is the sweetest reward

Soooo juvenile

Terrible book. The content and characters were so childlike and unlikeable, with random swearing and adult content to justify its classification as an adult novel. The narration fails to build any kind of chemistry whatsoever. And I can’t call it romcom because the only attempt at humour were lame Beatles puns. Def not what I would recommend as a worthwhile read.
